Jak kvalitní je svár nebo povrchová úprava mého nebo dodaného výrobku? Vznikl defekt chybným zacházením, nebo měl výrobek skrytou vadu materiálu? To jsou příklady otázek, které velmi rychle dokáže vyřešit tým univerzitního výzkumného ústavu CXI TUL. Pomoc při řešení konkrétních problémů ve výrobě, konzultace, analýzy a další služby špičkového vědeckého pracoviště za minimální náklady nabízí nyní firmám díky projektu SUPPORT4SME. Nabídka se týká malých a středních firem do 250 zaměstnanců z Libereckého, Ústeckého a Karlovarského kraje a také ze Saska.<h4>Podnik hradí pouze DPH</h4>„Řada menších firem má dobrý nápad nebo konkrétní technický problém, ale chybí jim přístup k potřebnému vybavení, expertům nebo laboratorním analýzám. Právě v tom jim může projekt SUPPORT4SME výrazně pomoci. Chceme, aby firmy věděly, že se na nás mohou obrátit i s velmi praktickými problémy z každodenní výroby nebo vývoje,“ říká řešitel projektu Adam Blažek z Ústavu pro nanomateriály, pokročilé technologie a inovace Technické univerzity v Liberci.&nbsp;Službu na míru si mohou firmy zadat na <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://support4sme.cxi.tul.cz/">online platformě projektu</a>. Pokud splní podmínky programu, hradí pouze DPH z reálné ceny služby. Investice do výzkumu tak pro malé a střední podniky přestává být významnou finanční překážkou.<h4>Analýza jako opora pro soudní spor</h4>Podporu projektu využila například stavební firma Tembo brand, která řešila prasklou hřídel čelního kloubového nakladače. Potřebovala zjistit, zda je příčinou chyba obsluhy, nebo vada samotného výrobku. Obrátila se proto na CXI.Detailní analýzy potvrdily výrobní vadu materiálu a staly se součástí oficiálního znaleckého posudku pro soudní řízení. Pro podobné případy má univerzita k dispozici elektronový mikroskop Helios 5 PFIB CXe, který umožňuje velmi podrobně zkoumat kvalitu materiálů, povrchové úpravy, slitiny, svary i další defekty. Mikroskop za více jak 45 milionů korun je unikátní tím, že vědci s ním mohou provádět i mikroskopické „řezy“ do zkoumaného materiálu a díky celé škále detektorů provádět komplexní fyzikální i chemickou analýzu složení vzorku.Firmě odborná analýza přinesla nejen vysvětlení příčiny problému, ale také silný podklad pro reklamaci a další právní kroky. „Buď bych tento stroj musel finančně náročně opravit, nebo bych s ním jezdil dál, což by pochopitelně představovalo bezpečnostní riziko nejen pro mě. Reklamaci teď máme prokázanou, dodavatel nám dodal zmetek a zřejmě se budeme soudit,“ popisuje Jakub Ševčík z firmy Tembo brand.<blockquote>Video: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5WXnKT2_tE&amp;t=2s">Špičkový mikroskop Helios pomáhá malým a středním firmám&nbsp;</a></blockquote><h4>Pomoc při vývoji běžkařských vosků</h4>Projekt SUPPORT4SME pomohl také firmě Titan Gliders, která na TUL našla odborné zázemí pro vývoj běžkařských vosků. Pomocí moderních analytických metod vědci zkoumají vlastní syntetizované přísady i konkurenční komerční vosky, a firma tak získává důležitá data pro další vývoj.&nbsp;„Spolupráce s CXI TUL se nám vyplatila jednoznačně. Víme přesně, kam napřít síly, bez takového zázemí bychom se jen těžko obešli. Navíc jsme díky tomu získali podporu českého biatlonu, Českého olympijského výboru i Libereckého kraje. Pro firmu, která začínala od nuly a byla financována z vlastních zdrojů, to má zásadní význam,“ říká Petr Tischer ze společnosti Titan Gliders.&nbsp;<h4>Pomoc, která firmám šetří peníze</h4>Projekt SUPPORT4SME nabízí tyto služby a množství dalších, také konzultace odbornic a odborníků, kteří disponují špičkovým laboratorním vybavením, a pomoc při řešení konkrétních technologických a materiálových problémů. Za cíl si klade podpořit v česko-saském regionu více než 130 podniků, zatím tyto služby využilo necelých třicet podniků.„Nejde jen o podporu velkých inovačních projektů. Často stačí vyřešit jeden konkrétní problém, ověřit vlastnosti materiálu nebo získat odborný pohled na technologický postup. I taková pomoc může firmě ušetřit čas, peníze a otevřít cestu k dalšímu rozvoji. Zástupci firem mnohdy ani netuší, že tu jsme a s&nbsp;čím vším jim můžeme pomoci. Přitom u nás mají k&nbsp;dispozici nejnovější přístrojové vybavení za naprosto zanedbatelné ceny. Ať firmy neváhají a obrátí se na nás s&nbsp;konkrétními dotazy, které je trápí nebo zajímají, “ uzavírá Adam Blažek.<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/CXI_TUL_Firmy_mohou_ziskat_pomoc_spickovych_odborniku_z_TUL_za_hubicku_5ceaee370e.jpg" alt="CXI TUL: Firmy mohou získat pomoc špičkových odborníků z TUL „za hubičku“" srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/thumbnail_CXI_TUL_Firmy_mohou_ziskat_pomoc_spickovych_odborniku_z_TUL_za_hubicku_5ceaee370e.jpg 234w," sizes="100vw" width="1024" height="683"><h3>SUPPORT4SME</h3>Projekt propojuje malé a střední podniky z Libereckého, Ústeckého a Karlovarského kraje a ze Saska s aplikovaným výzkumem.

Separation Science: How to choose the right LIMS solution

How to choose the right LIMS solution

Understand the key considerations when selecting a LIMS to best meet your goals and elevate your lab.

Choosing the right LIMS is a challenge, but it can be accomplished with sufficient research and strong compatibility between your organization’s needs and the functionality of the software.
Once companies have selected the right LIMS, they will need to embark on the next stage of their journey – implementation. It is imperative that your implementation project is successful and efficient, driven by the strategic partnership and common goals that you and your vendor have established.
In this webinar, we will discuss how to achieve a successful laboratory software installation:
<ul>
<li>Consider resources - a successful project needs key stakeholder involvement. What&#39;s usually expected from a customer? Who should be involved, and how much time will they need to commit?
</li>
<li>What are you looking to solve? You will have thought about this while selecting your solution, but you must revisit this to ensure you stay on track and understand the true scope of your project.
</li>
<li>Key LIMS project management considerations - Keep things simple, know your scope, work in phases. We&#39;ll cover all the common pitfalls of lab software projects and how to avoid them.
</li>
<li>Looking ahead. Your LIMS project doesn&#39;t stop when you go live. How can you ensure ongoing success through the life of your LIMS?

How to manage a successful LIMS implementation

Dr. Andrew “Dru” Namanja, Principal Research Scientist at AbbVie, will explore the potency ranking methods involving both qualitative single-point ligand concentration (Q Score) and quantitative binding affinity (KD), and how the combined utility can be used successfully to drive a Fragment-Based Drug Discovery (FBDD) campaign.
<h4>Intro</h4>
Protein-based nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is an established gold-standard biophysical tool in early-stage drug discovery that provides atomic-resolution insights into protein-ligand interactions in solution. It ensures accurate confirmation of screening hits and drug leads by reducing the number of false positives and thereby saving resources and time in fast-paced setting with a high target attrition rate
<h4>Overview</h4>
The various applications of protein-based NMR in early-stage drug Discovery will be discussed, including classifying ligand mode-of-action (MoA), hit identification and confirmation from typical small molecule screening modalities such as DNA-encoded libraries (DEL), high-throughput screening (HTS), virtual library screening (VLS), and fragment-based screening (FBS).

Protein-based NMR also enables the tracking of structure-activity relationships (SAR) of weak binding fragments as they are elaborated to potent leads. This webinar will explore the potency ranking methods involving both qualitative single-point ligand concentration (Q Score) and quantitative binding affinity (KD), and how the combined utility can be used successfully to drive a Fragment-based Drug Discovery (FBDD) campaign. Furthermore, automated data analysis workflows will be discussed that employ spectral fingerprint analyses such as PCA (principal component analysis) and ECHOS (easy comparability of higher order structure) in conjunction with the standard chemical shift perturbation (CSP)-based method. This can significantly accelerate FBDD when using protein-detected NMR methods.
